Saints 4-0 Walsall - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

Che coming on for THB, weird one

[Saint Fan CaM]

Che on for his annual shop window match. 😂

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yay! Not just our defence givign it away today. Smallbone gets that across. But that's one of those ones I see that I don;t think we've quite figured out how to get three runners onto it in time, so I don;t often have much hope with those ones.

[OttawaSaint]

Great play by Will after goalie mistake. No one could get final touch.

[trousers]

Why the f*** does Adams come on before Dibling? Nothing against Adams but if this isn't an ideal opportunity for Dibling, when is...?

How's that not a pen?!?!?

Because it wasn't a foul. Good tackle.

[Bad Wolf]

I really wanna see Meghoma start more. Especially with how suspect Manning is.

I'm with you.

If Che is leaving, why are we cup tieing him? Give the Dibbler a go...

[St. Ciervo]

How is Adams out there before Dibling on a 2-0 lead against a random league 2 team? 

And again... Sign Fraser permanently NOW. 

[Saint NL]

Lovely finish fro Fraser.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oh, that's lovely from Fraser.

[AlexLaw76]

Brilliant goal from Fraser.

Get the young lad on ffs

[trousers]

Boom!

NOW bring on Dibling.... (please)

[OttawaSaint]

Beauty!!!

Lovely pass by Alcaraz!

[SNSUN]

Fraser showing Prem quality.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Brilliant again from Fraser 3-0. None of our strikers can do that it seems.

 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Alcaraz controlled well to get that pass out to him. Adams' positioning took at least one of their defenders and the keeper's attention away a bit too.

[Saint Matty 76]

Forced himself into a starting spot v Sheff Wednesday with recent form & Edozie's injury

Get Dibling on now

[Saint NL]

Both finishes by Fraser have been superb. Can't we get him teaching Che how to hit it low into the corners?

[Sheaf Saint]

Great finish from Fraser. Lovely ball in to him from Alcaraz as well. Good job he wasn't trying too hard eh?

Didn't see that. He's still having the worst individual game I've seen from a Saints player this season.

and now an assist.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Really shit sloppy pass from Mara there.

[Master Bates]

[Bad Wolf]

So this equals the record, right?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mara has been pushed out wide. A stray pass on one move, but got a shot away there.

Elsewhere, we either have Meghoma taking on their full back, or we can hit it directly to Fraser. Wallsall not able to cope with that.

[AlexLaw76]

Is that the youngster getting ready to come on?

And now a wild effort. Feel for the lad, he's trying so hard to impress. Needs to just trust himself more and not try to force it. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Could do with some fresh legs on. The game is comfortable. As Trousers said, Dibling could be given some minutes out there.

[Master Bates]

[Bad Wolf]

Dibling time surely?!

[OttawaSaint]

Meghoma has been excellent. 

[gammon cheeks]

Hes a belter !

Different from the rest

Dances round defences,with a Saints badge on his chest!

Hes Ryan Frazer

Shines in red and white..and when he scores another goal ...will sing this song all night!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Mara pulled up a bit there - still no Dibling.

Brilliant skill getting out of defence by Meghoma. Boys are real talent and ready to get in ahead of Manning.

[obelisk]

Without Fraser this'd likely by 0-0. Or more likely 0-1.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Aargh! That would have made a lovely goal . Meghoma getting it clear and on a good run. Good cross getting in, but just over Adams and Mara couldn;t retireve it in the end. Meghoma's fooling of their attacker isn;t a decision I'd like to see being made too often, even if it is good when it comes off.

[Sheaf Saint]

That dummy just now to get away from the pressing attacker showed great confidence.

[Saint NL]

Here we go, it's Dibling time

[Saint Fan CaM]

Mara off and Dibling on!!!

[Bad Wolf]

Here comes the boy wonder!

[trousers]

Yay! Dibbers!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mara off for Dibling.

Mara has shown strength today. He's kept getting into positions, and taking chances even after an early miss. Both as a target and in support.  While being pushed out wide is somewhere he's still developing, it does give us anothe option. He and the staff will be pleased with his efforts today.

[Saint NL]

Che 4-0

[SNSUN]

Che! Who needs a new striker... 

[OttawaSaint]

Yesssssss! Great ball again by Alcaraz!

[Saint Matty 76]

Alcaraz taking up great positions with another assist there. Che did his best to make that look as uncomfortable as possible

[AlexLaw76]

Adams bang on....

[Sheaf Saint]

Adams!

Is the transfer window open perchance? 🤔

[Saint Fan CaM]

Blimey Adams scores to show his level and raise his price by £10k.

[AlexLaw76]

Another assist by Charlie.
